Reading aloud to your child can give them an important head start in their education. Any time spent reading, helps in your child’s development. However, some tactics can supercharge the benefits of reading aloud. The tone you use, the questions you ask, making predictions, asking questions and discussing the story can significantly increase reading comprehension.
Below are a few tips on supercharging reading aloud.
• Start by discussing the pictures on the cover
• Ask your child to predict what the story is about
• During reading, discuss the pictures and how they help tell the story
• Have your child recap what the story has been about so far
• Make sure you stop and explain difficult concepts that your child might not understand
• Occasionally stop and ask a probing question about the story
• After Reading, summarize the story
• Try to draw some connections to the story and your child’s everyday life
• Reading the book multiple times can help increase their overall comprehension
Enjoy reading aloud and learning together with your child!
